β€οΈ A stent is a tiny metal mesh tube used to keep blocked heart arteries open. β€οΈ
π« During angioplasty, it is placed inside the narrowed artery to restore smooth blood flow. π«
β‘ The stent supports artery walls and prevents them from collapsing again. β‘
π This improves oxygen supply to the heart and reduces chest pain and heart attack risk. π
π With proper care and medication, stents help patients live active, healthy lives. π
